I really, really want to have this surgery, but have some questions to ask.

How do you know what to eat after surgery? I feel like I am not creative enough to know what to eat, or how to get a variety. I feel like, after it is too late, I will realize I don't know how to eat, and will end up eating all the wrong things. What happens if a person doesn't like whatever we have to eat for protein, like the shakes? How does a person go back to work and know what to take to eat? What happens if we get diarrhea at work (the type that gives you no warning)? I have colitis now, and don't know what might happen if I have surgery. I just feel really mixed up, although I want the surgery so bad. I am in the process of waiting to hear from the surgeon on if I qualify or not (have filled out the paperwork). Thanks for any help.
